The Fatback Band – ‘(Do The ) Spanish Hustle’. The Joaquin ‘Joe’ Claussell Versions (12" Vinyl)

First up is his 'Sacred Rhythm Version’, which lifts the tempo and loops a section of the original's percussion. Keeping the trumpets, and soulful vocal phrases, he adds a DJ-friendly kick drum and shows off his improvisation skills with a vibrant synth line.

On the flip, he strips back some of the drums and horns and focuses on the bassline with the 'Spanish Harlem Dub,' which is a moody rework utilising some funk-infused organ chords.

On the original track Joe says: "I can vividly recall the very first time I heard Spanish Hustle blasting through my brother Jackie’s stereo system. Not long afterward, I experienced its energy again on the dance floor at a discotheque known as The Inferno, where it was masterfully delivered by the legendary René Hewitt. The record left an imprint on my spirit that never faded.’

'I love it, love it, Love It!!!!' says writer Gerry Thomas.

And so do we... a spectacular continuation of the series, presented in the now-signature Spring Revisited housebag, resembling an original worn-in 12” from a record pool, pressed in a strictly limited run!
